How to use the sugaring wax paste for body hair removal:
1. First of all, make sure your skin is dry and clean. It's always a good idea to have a shower the night before to open up your pores.
2. Using your hands, take out a lime-sized portion of the sugaring wax paste, and gently rub and knead it with your fingers.
3. Now stretch the sugar paste on your skin, going against the direction of your body hair growth.
4. Wait a few seconds, and then pull it out using a flicking motion in the same direction of your body hair growth.
5. If you feel that you don't have much control, hold your skin taut using your other hand, and just go bit by bit.
6. When the sugar wax paste stops feeling stretchy, replace it with another piece.
7. You can go over the same area several times to make sure you completely got rid of unwanted body hair.
8. After you're done, gather the sugar paste that's leftover on your skin with the sugar paste piece you got in your hands and then throw away.
9. Take a shower, and all the sticky skin will be clean in a matter of minutes!
Here are some steps to consider after using the sugaring wax paste:
1. Apply aloe vera gel has soothing properties and can help calm the skin. It also provides hydration without clogging pores. Make sure to use a pure, alcohol-free aloe vera gel.
2. Use a fragrance-free, moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Look for a product that contains ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, or almond oil, which are known for their moisturizing properties.
3. Avoid fragrance and harsh chemicals. Choose products that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances, as these can potentially irritate freshly sugared skin.
4. After hair removal, it's a good idea to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours. If you need to go out, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect the treated skin.
5. Opt for loose, breathable clothing to prevent friction and irritation on the treated skin.
Tip: For the best sugaring body hair removal results, your hair must at least a quarter of an inch long, so that the sugar waxing paste would be able to stick to the hairs and pull it out from the roots.
